Nattering Nabob of Negativism
Back to the regular programming. Trump: “I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would happen.” It was only a test of the media.
The spinoff:
Was Mitch just testing the media when he suggested bankruptcy for states rather than bailing them out? Let's bail out banks and corporations who take risks and lose, but fuck the states! This is where he draws the line of borrowing 'from future generations.'
MM: "I would certainly be in favor of allowing states to use the bankruptcy route. It saves some cities. And there’s no good reason for it not to be available. My guess is their first choice would be for the federal government to borrow money from future generations to send it down to them now so they don’t have to do that. That’s not something I’m going to be in favor of.”
